In 17th century Spain, there was a fat kid. This was considered so extraordinary that she was sent to the royal court to have her portrait painted.

By modern American and probably even European standards, she's a super athlete.

It's full of knee slappers:

was a Spanish court jester

her appearance serving as a source of shock and amusement

So fascinated was the king by her appearance that he had his court painter ... create two full-body portraits of her

The paintings are titled The Monster

She wouldn't look out of place in modern day Western societies :D
